The best Jane Austen pun that I could manage... We found out today that Jane Austen's brother was the Church Warden at St Peters and St Paul's in Wymering way back in the 19th Century and is buried in the church yard where we were today.

We welcomed Sharon for her first GoodGym good deed and Jenny & Brian for their second official good deed! Today's mission was to clear the ivy off the front wall and the graves closest to the vicarage. We also did battle with a bay tree which smelt amazing, filled a brown bin to the top and created a very large pile of branches to go into the bin once its been emptied.

It was a very satisfying task as we could see the difference we'd made. We also got a cup of tea and some history of the area from Revd Amy.

Ellie got to take home a baby bottle warmer which is going to be repurposed for canicross... Look forward to seeing the pictures of that!
